flammable solids

Burnable solid substances

Flammable solids are materials in solid form that can catch fire readily through friction, heat, or spontaneous chemical reaction.

The term appears primarily in safety regulations, shipping classifications, and hazard warnings: Flammable solids must be stored away from heat sources.

Common examples include matches, certain metals like magnesium, and materials that can self-ignite under specific conditions.
